Immigrant Family Legal Fund

This fundraiser will help us establish a legal defense fund to provide legal assistance to immigrant families impacted by ICE arrests and detentions.

Leader

Sr Janice Vanderneck

Location

2116 Broadway Ave Pittsburgh, PA 15216

About the project

The unity of the family is a strong value with our clients.  That unity is threatened by detention and deportation.  We are establishing a legal fund to provide assistance so that clients can afford a lawyer to apply for bond for them to ask for release from detention under bond.  

 

Casa San Jose is a community resource center that advocates for and empowers Latinos by promoting integration and self-sufficiency.

It serves as a base of support for English language learners, helping them to access services catered to children, youth, and families in order to better acclimate them to their new home in the Pittsburgh area and to know the experience of being welcome here.

The Steps

We are raising community investment for legal fees to keep local families together this coming Three Kings holiday. 

Why we‘re doing it

To model a strong culture of acceptance and integration in which immigrants and other newcomers are treated with dignity, respect, and kindness and can freely preserve and celebrate their unique cultures while adapting to their new lives in the Greater Pittsburgh area.
